" Beep..." The phone rang. Wang Hong rushed over to pick up the phone. It was Mayor Zhang.
"Is it Teacher Wang?" "Guess who's here today?" Mayor Zhang asked in a friendly tone.”
Wang Hong thought to herself, How would I know who the mayor is talking about? Out of politeness, she still said enthusiastically,"I really don't know which honored guest is coming.”
Mayor Zhang smiled." Not only is he a distinguished guest, but he's also a high-ranking official. Didn't he tell you about the National Day?"”
Big Leader? Could it be that Director Wang had come to Xuancheng? Mayor Zhang called personally. It must be him. So, the mayor called, could it be that he wanted me to accompany the director again?
Wang Hong felt that she was not used to being with the government leaders and it was better to have less contact with them, so she pretended not to know. "You can't remember, right?" Mayor Zhang asked. Alright, listen to who it is."
At this moment, an old voice came from the phone.""Xiao Wang, your brother-in-law is here. You really can't tell?”Wang Hong had no choice but to pretend to recognize the voice."It's you, Director Wang!" Chief Wang saw that Wang Hong had called out and smiled in satisfaction."Not bad, not bad. We're family after all! I'll send a car over right away to pick you up for dinner. Wait at home. The car will be here soon.”
Wang Hong couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the call. Last time, she had a falling out with her husband because of the dance, so she swore that she would never get involved in his affairs again. But now that Chief Wang had personally called, it was not up to her to decide whether to go or not. But on second thought, so what if he went? As long as it was beneficial to her husband, it was nothing for the wife to suffer a little. Besides, if he didn't go, Mayor Zhang and the others would be unhappy. That would definitely affect the relationship between the leader and her husband. Moreover, her husband's work had improved. Director Wang must have helped him. She felt that it was not good to reject him. Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was better to go.
Soon, the car arrived. It was brought by Xiao Pan. "Sister-in-law." She hadn't even entered the door, but her voice came through the door."Get in the car, Mayor Zhang and the others are waiting for you.”While waiting for the bus, Wang Hong put on some light makeup on her face. She was a woman who was very particular about her appearance. She felt that it was better to tidy up when she saw these high-ranking officials. Wang Hong got into the car, but Pan Tao wanted to leave. "Little Pan, why don't you go with us?”she asked curiously.
Pan Tao turned around and said,"I still have something to do, so I won't go."”
Wang Hong felt that it was better for Xiao Pan to go. At least he would have a familiar companion. " You're not going," she threatened."I'm not going either."
" No, no, no." Little Pan was anxious." Chief Wang is waiting for you. Go quickly!"”
Wang Hong pulled Pan Tao over and said,"I want you to accompany me. Let's see who dares to disagree!"”
Xiao Pan was still pulled into the car by Wang Hong.
Wang Hong asked the driver,""Where are we going?"
"Red Capital." the driver said.
Wang Hong had heard of Red Capital before. It was a famous entertainment venue in the provincial capital. It happened to be between the provincial capital and Xuancheng. It took less than 20 minutes to get there on the highway. Wang Hong had never been here before. Fortunately, Xiao Pan was familiar with it, so he could only follow her and secretly look around from time to time. The houses here had red walls and red tiles, and there were flowers everywhere. There was no feeling of winter at all. On both sides of the gate were two magnificent red pillars. On each pillar was a golden mermaid dragon coiling up. No wonder this place was called Red City. Besides, no matter where they went, beautiful ladies in red cheongsams with Xiang embroidery would stand on both sides. When they saw them coming, they would bow and say," Welcome." Red City was indeed a five-star hotel. It really lived up to its reputation.
As the driver walked into the private room, someone said,"Teacher Wang is here." Everyone stood up and greeted Wang Hong. Chief Wang smiled and said,"Niece, come and sit here."
Mayor Zhang said,"Look, Director Wang is biased. He insisted on giving the seat next to your niece." In the end, he couldn't write two 'kings' in one stroke.”
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
After Wang Hong sat down, Chief Wang whispered in her ear for a while, causing her to smile happily.
Zhao Guoqing saw Director Wang and his wife whispering in their ears. They must be talking about themselves. His eyes swept over Wang Hong's face from time to time, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
Wang Hong felt her husband's cold gaze. She carefully looked at her husband's face, as if he was a little unhappy. Could it be that he was like that again? He became nervous.
Bureau Chief Bao might have noticed that Wang Hong was spying on Zhao Guoqing and seemed to have sensed something, so he said humorously,"Wang Hong, it's only been half a day since National Day. Why can't you open your eyes?”
When Chief Bao said this, Wang Hong's face immediately turned red, causing everyone to laugh.
Mayor Zhang said," Wang Hong, Director Wang is very concerned about the work of the National Day. You have to give your uncle a toast first."”
Seeing Mayor Zhang open his mouth like this, Wang Hong felt that it was not good to refuse this glass of wine. For the sake of her husband, she had to drink it up even if she had to drip it dry. She raised her glass and said," Thank you for your concern, Director Wang and Mayor Zhang. I'll drink this!"”As he spoke, he downed the wine in one gulp, and the room burst into applause.
Chief Bao knew that Chief Wang liked Wang Hong very much. He asked Wang Hong to dance with him to put the old man in a good mood. Seeing that the wine on the table was almost finished, he suggested Director Wang to move around. Director Wang agreed, so the group followed Director Wang out of the private room.
Wang Hong accompanied Chief Wang to the ballroom.
Zhao Guoqing's sixth sense told him that Director Wang would dance with Wang Hong like that. His mood suddenly became heavy. He was not doing well and needed his wife to accompany him to drink and dance. He had three escorts and two escorts. How ugly would it be if word got out?
Ever since he got to know Chief Wang, he had indeed treated Wang Hong and him well. He was also very concerned about their work. It was only right for them to dance and exchange their feelings. After all, she was the chief. Many women wanted to dance with the chief but did not have such an opportunity. Would others think so? People nowadays had vicious mouths. If they were to make things worse, wouldn't it become the joke of the city? The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't explain this feeling at the moment. He only knew how annoying it was!
After Wang Hong finished her glass of wine, her head was already dizzy and she could barely stand. On the dance floor, she leaned against Director Wang's hand and danced almost as if Director Wang was leading her. When Zhao Guoqing saw it, he felt countless stars jumping in front of him. He was also an associate researcher, but he had to sacrifice his wife to start a career. Thinking of this, he felt sour in his heart.
He did not need such concern!
He never liked his wife socializing, but he knew that all of this was carefully arranged by Mayor Zhang. There was still some distance between the current situation of the high-tech agricultural park and the situation reported. He needed Director Wang's help to report to the provincial leaders. In order to move Chief Wang, he had to find a way to pluck the stars from the sky for him as a way to repay him, not to mention letting Wang Hong dance... But Zhao Guoqing did not understand all of this. Could it be that only drinking and dancing could communicate feelings? In the past, the communication of thoughts was unified through criticism and self-criticism at the daily meeting, but now it was either in the dance hall or in the KTV room. It seemed that everything was changing now and he could not understand it.
Wasn't he already in his forties? How could it be 'incomprehensible'?
He remembered Chen Huang's warning to adapt to the new situation. How should he adapt to this new situation? This sounded easy to say, but it was very difficult to do. These experiences were too deep. He did not know if he could not adapt to this situation or if the situation could not accept him.
Give Jiang Feng a call? She pursued her career and even dared to fire civil servants. She should be a trendy figure who adapted to the situation. It was better to listen to her opinion. He had come to Red City today. He had wanted to go there to see her, but Wang Hong was here. To be cautious, he had to call her, so he used his phone to call Jiang Feng.
He suddenly thought, Is she doing a sexy dance now? Perhaps she was reveling in front of everyone, exposing her thighs and belly while wearing sunglasses. Especially when she said that she wanted to have children on the phone, she couldn't help but shiver and immediately cancel the idea.
In that case, he should call Wang Ti. This little girl is also very trendy. Don't look at her appearance like a little girl, when she speaks, she is old and mature. She might have a new perspective on the current cultural trends. However, when he thought about how she never had a sentry post and how her hands and feet were not restrained at all, he liked and feared her when she went crazy. Every time he was with her, he felt depressed. He was afraid that if he could not control himself, something would happen again.
It was better not to provoke her.
He returned home resentfully. Wang Hong was still leaning on the sofa in the living room, perhaps waiting for him. When she saw Zhao Guoqing return, she quickly asked,"Where did you go?"”
" Ah." Zhao Guoqing was just about to vent his anger."You were looking for me?"
" I have good news," Wang Hong said."You're about to be promoted to deputy director and be in charge of the agricultural park.”
Zhao Guoqing was stunned when he heard that. He looked at Wang Hong and asked," How did you know?
Wang Hong seemed to have seen the look in National Day's eyes, and she said excitedly,""As soon as I sat down next to Director Wang, he told me that he was the one who went to Mayor Zhang directly. Mayor Zhang asked Secretary An for instructions and even went to the head of the organization department.”
This was originally good news, but Zhao Guoqing was not very interested in things like the deputy bureau chief. He roared angrily,"Acting Deputy Chief? I don't want it. I just want to do research.”
Wang Hong felt that something was not right.”
"Yes, I drank." Zhao Guoqing was a little excited. He said in a rough voice,"I drank bitter wine!"
Wang Hong saw her husband lying on the sofa and felt that he was not in a good mood. She advised him to go to bed early. She called out several times, but he was still lying on his stomach. He walked over and was shocked. His face was covered in tears.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Hong asked with concern.
"It's nothing. You can only blame yourself for being useless.”
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing!"
Wang Hong heard his tone and felt that it was too harsh. She was so angry that she could not speak for a long time. His tone just now seemed to have a deeper meaning and a more vicious subtext. Wang Hong was so angry that she cried."Zhao Guoqing, you're making my heart ache. Why am I doing this? It's all for you! He was already in his thirties, but you were already in your forties. What were you? Don't you feel ashamed? Chief Bao is five years younger than you. He only has a secondary school diploma, and you are a regular undergraduate student. How big is the difference? Don't you feel guilty at all? How long are you going to keep doing this?"
Zhao Guoqing looked indifferent and said,"What's the use of being jealous of other people's black gauze hats all day? My goal isn't this. I want to be promoted to another level. Researcher, professor, expert, scholar!”
"Even if you become a researcher in the future, what's the use? Is there a car? Did someone ask for money? Did someone ask you for help? One had to know that power still mattered in China now. Director Wang told me just now that he specifically asked you to be in charge of this project. Mayor Zhang said that she didn't want to do this either, but the head of the organization only had the right to agree to the deputy director!”" It's this acting deputy director," Wang Hong said." It's hard without help, you know?"”
"What kind of promotion is this?" Zhao Guoqing asked. Acting deputy bureau chief was nothing more than a department-level cadre doing the work of a department-level cadre, bearing the responsibility of a department-level. Nowadays, the officials of the Chinese People's Party either didn't mention it, or once it was mentioned, they would just have to change places if they didn't have the ability. However, this generation was different. If they said that they were incapable, they did not need them to replace them. Isn't it still the same level? Isn't it like walking on a tightrope?”
Wang Hong said,"People say that the officials of the Party either don't replace them or replace them, unless you're corrupt or have improper sex with women."”
Zhao Guoqing's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard Wang Hong's words. If she knew about Jiang Feng, it would be terrible!
Wang Hong couldn't help but laugh when she saw how nervous Guo Qing was."You're nervous at the mention of women. No wonder you got angry at the mention of the deputy director.”
At the mention of the deputy bureau chief, Zhao Guoqing was angry again."Why? Does this deputy bureau chief need the help of Director Wang? What a joke! Only Xuancheng has such a substitute, and I'm the first!”"What's the big deal about having another deputy in the bureau?" Zhao Guoqing became more and more excited as he spoke. Why is it that when it's my turn, there's an extra 'Dai' above my head? Did he call me Deputy Chief or Deputy Chief? Neither! A busybody would still say that he was the acting deputy chief because his wife danced with others. This was f * cking nonsense. Fortunately, he did not pursue any position!”
" Okay." Wang Hong's face was flushed red. She rushed to Zhao Guoqing and said,""If you have the ability, if you want me to accompany Director Wang again, you're f * cking inhumane!”
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she covered her face and ran into the room. She slammed the door shut and immediately burst into tears.
The next morning, before the meeting of all the bureau officials, Zhao Guoqing asked Bureau Chief Bao again and again not to take on the position of deputy bureau chief, as long as he could go to the high-tech park. Bureau Chief Bao said helplessly. Mayor Zhang had announced that he would be the " acting deputy bureau chief " in charge of the construction of the high-tech agricultural park. How could I reject Mayor Zhang's proposal?
Why was it still set like this? Zhao Guoqing asked Bureau Chief Bao not to replace the deputy bureau chief. Bureau Chief Bao repeated his work repeatedly. According to the rules, Director Wang was the supervisor of the agricultural park. It would be inappropriate for him to arrange for him to stay in the agricultural park. He could only do this for the convenience of work. Zhao Guoqing said," I'm an associate professor. I don't want any administrative positions. I just want to be able to carry out scientific research." Chief Bao said that this was only in theory, but it was often not so simple in actual work. In order to make it easier for him to work, Bureau Chief Bao had even arranged for him to use a Santana. Zhao Guoqing had no choice but to silently walk out of Chief Bao's office.
Bureau Chief Bao followed Director Wang's request and held a special meeting on agricultural park work. Perhaps it was related to the construction of the agricultural park, so Mayor Zhang also attended the meeting. It was Zhao Guoqing's first time participating as the deputy bureau chief, so he felt a lot of pressure. At the meeting, Bureau Chief Bao announced that Zhao Guoqing was the acting deputy bureau chief in charge of the high-tech park. He was now in charge of the high-tech park's work. When all the members of the meeting heard Chief Bao's words, they all looked at Zhao Guoqing. Especially Mayor Zhang's gaze, he couldn't help but shiver.
Zhao Guoqing had worked in the bureau office for a few years and had some experience. He thought about it and said that in order to clarify the responsibility, he might as well go to the field and implement it one by one. Within the year, a highway would be built from Binhu Avenue to the Science and Technology Park to solve the traffic problem. Director Wang would be in charge of coordinating with the Transportation Bureau. Zhao Guoqing wrote down the construction plan to start the construction of the office building. These were the beautiful buildings of the agricultural park. They had to be built in a grand manner, especially with the project funds. He had to hurry to the provincial office to report to Director Wang. If Director Wang agreed to this plan, he had to strive to secure the project funds as soon as possible. This work was linked to the Agriculture Bureau. The high-tech agricultural park had become the highlight of science and technology because the municipal party committee had proposed a strategy to strengthen the city through science and technology. At the beginning of next year, the representatives and members of the Municipal People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Conference would come here for inspection.
On the day of the trip to the provincial office, Mayor Zhang patted Zhao Guoqing on the shoulder and said earnestly,""The key to this report is to secure the project funds.”
Chief Bao also said,"Through this opportunity, we have to find a way to find out about the provincial government's project funds allocation."”
Zhao Guoqing didn't have any confidence in this kind of work, but he knew that the funds were very stressful for Mayor Zhang and Bureau Chief Bao. He couldn't tell them, so he could only go to Director Wang according to their request.
Zhao Guoqing rushed to the province. Director Wang was satisfied with Zhao Guoqing's report. Zhao Guoqing also mentioned the project funding. Director Wang personally came forward to find the relevant units to understand, saying that they would only know after the provincial party committee's spirit was released. Although things went smoothly, Zhao Guoqing was busy until evening before leaving the provincial capital.
